A second visit to Ramsey Island. This time going around it on a boat. The weather had taken a turn for the worse, with choppy waves, heavy cloud and drizzle. If only we could have gone the previous afternoon!
Finally got to see lots of the cliff-nesting birds, sometimes at eye-level, and lots of Razorbills flying to and fro, floating on the sea. Regularly saw Grey Seals having a nose, and a pair of Choughs again.

With an afternoon left to soak up, we went round to Caerfai Bay, starting at Caer Bwdy Bay, to see what we could see. Very rocky shoreline, covered in weeds. The tide was slowly coming back in. Lots of gulls flying past the cliffs. Very lush, green vegetation covered in caterpillars but way too hot under the sun again. We came across a thick clump of Oxeye Daisies on the way back.
